In addition to the more than 300,000 hydrangeas that bloom on an approximately 10,000-square-meter hillside, there are tree ferns, begonias and Medinilla magnifica, also known as the Philippine orchid, which produces rare pink flowers. The uniqueness of this garden where such unique tropical plants are growing in harmony with the hydrangeas has also attracted attention from mainland Japan.

宮城島隠れ家ビーチ

Miyagi Island’s hidden beach

A hidden beach on Miyagi Island where rave parties and other events used to be held in the past, as hardly anything existed there other than fields. Since there are strong riptides, visitors should be careful if they plan to swim. This beach is frequented by surfers, locals and American families who camp out in the area.

宮城島

Miyagi Island

Because the altitude is higher here than on neighboring islands, visitors should not miss Kafu Banta (Cape of Happiness), which offers a scenic view from Nuchi-Una, a salt producer located on the cape that is also a popular tourist destination on the island. The breathtaking view of magnificent coral reefs makes this a scenic spot that’s rare even onthe main island of Okinawa.

Kafu Banta offers a cliff-top view of the sea 120 meters below.
